MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR: Celebrating Science, History and Humanity

Posted February 07, 2013

There’s much to celebrate in the month of February! In less than a week, humanists and science advocates from around the globe will be celebrating the 204th birthday of Charles Darwin with lectures, discussion groups, and parties—all to recognize the importance of Darwin’s scientific contributions to the betterment of humanity. February is Black History Month, and each week we’ll be recognizing a famous black humanist in history and discussing the importance of diversity in the humanist movement. And while we’re certainly not happy about some of the most recent anti-women initiatives in government (such as the inevitable fight to pass the Violence Against Women Act in the House and President Obama’s special treatment of religious organizations exempt from providing contraceptive services), we can celebrate knowing that thousands of people are on our side and willing to fight for women’s equality.

Facebook is the best way to get up-to-the-minute news from the American Humanist Association, so if you haven’t already, I encourage you to “like” us and add your name to our over 107,000 followers. What else would you like to see in HNN? Write to us at hnn@americanhumanist.org.

MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR: Support the Darwin Day Resolution

Posted January 23, 2013

For the second time in our history, the American Humanist Association helped introduce a bill in Congress! Today Rep. Rush Holt (NJ) introduced House Resolution 41 which calls to designate February 12, 2013 as Darwin Day and recognize the importance of evolution and science education. We’re proud to have allies like Rep. Holt in Congress, and we applaud the bill’s current co-sponsors: Rep. Eleanor Norton (DC), Rep. Ed Markey (MA), Rep. Michael Honda (CA), and Rep. Louise Slaughter (NY).

We need as many co-sponsors for this bill as possible. I strongly encourage you to contact your Representative now using the links in today’s issue of HNN and ask her or him to support H.Res. 41 and stand up for science education. Thank you for your support!
